Explanation
A (True) is correct because KrbServer is a Kerberos server component that provides authentication services to other system components, and Kerberos was specifically designed to address three core security threats: eavesdropping (through encrypted tickets), replay attacks (through timestamps and nonces), and data integrity violations (through cryptographic checksums). Option B is simply wrong - Kerberos's entire design purpose is to provide exactly these protections, so claiming it cannot do so contradicts the protocol's foundational goals.
Memory tip: Think of Kerberos as a "three-headed dog" guarding three security concerns - Eavesdropping, Replay attacks, and Integrity (ERI). KrbServer is the component that deploys this guard for other services in the system.
